Overland Farewell

.....the view from seat 28.

 

The interstate passenger service between Adelaide and Melbourne 'The Overland' has now only three return trips left before the government subsidy it enjoys runs out

 

So I went for a nostalgic journey today from Melbourne to Adelaide, just for fun. A couple of weeks ago the train was sold out, but with numerous cancellations due to the virus thingy, around 50% of intending passengers had cancelled.

 

UPDATE: As it turns out this was probably the last run of Australia's oldest interstate through passenger service - due to government virus restrictions, despite three more return trips planned, as of Sunday 22/3 the train was mothballed and is unlikely to return.
